Please not that in most presentations of this list, made from a muster
to establish who had died, there is not mention of the survivors of the
attack included on it or in fact were missing. . It was not assumed there
were survivors at the time of the muster. All Jamestown knew was
that persons were missing, and it was assumed some had been taken into
the outposts to be killed and or mutilated. But among those on the
list are several who were later retuned to the colony. all of Martin's
Hundred, and all women, who had been forced to lives of slavery within
the Powhatan Confederacy. One, upon return by payment of a ransom, found
that the ransom payer expected her to prolong the service of her husband,
whose contract had been cut short by the massacre.

but lost at the time of the muster, later returned in part to Jamestown,
and all women taken into captivity duringthe assault.

"Edward Waterhouse, a secretary for the Virginia Company, reported in
his official Declaration of the State of the Colony and a Relation of the
Barbarous Massacre that 77 peopleˇ52 men, 16 women, six children, and three
unspecifiedˇwere killed in the attack at MartinÝs Hundred alone.
However, Waterhouse overestimated the number slain, for he listed as dead
several women who were unaccounted for and were presumed killed but who
were, in fact, captives. At least 58 colonists died at the plantation,
and the dazed and despairing survivors had every reason to believe
that those missing had either been killed in inaccessible areas, hacked
or burned beyond recognition, or captured, which they believed would lead
to certain death.....Slowly, however, Englishmen on both sides
of the Atlantic came to believe that a number of women from
MartinÝs Hundred who had been presumed killed by the Indians were
still alive. A year after the uprising, Richard Frethorne, a settler
in Wolstenholme Towne, reported that the Powhatans held 15 people from
that plantation in their villages, while another source indicated that
there were ý19 English persons retayned . . . in great slaveryţ among
the Indians and that ýthere were none but women in Captivitie . .
. for the men they tooke they putt . . . to death.ţ " http://americanhistory.about.com/library/prm/blmartinshundred.htm

Among them were women
of Martins Hundred, and they were later returned to Jamestown in exchange
for peace. AMong those in the muster are Mistress Boyse, sent march 1623
dressed like an Indian ýQueen,ţ "With her at the Indian stronghold
near present-day
West Point, Virginia, were Mistress Jeffries, wife of Nathaniel Jeffries
who
survived the uprising, and Jane Dickenson, wife of Ralph Dickenson, an
indentured servant slain in the assault. "

"It soon became clear that the fate of the missing women depended not
upon official concern or humanitarian instincts but upon the principle
that everything and everybody had a price. Near the end of 1623,
more than a year and a half after the uprising, the prosperous Dr.
Pott ransomed Jane Dickenson and other women from the Indians for a few
pounds of trade beads. ?After her release, Dickenson learned that she owed
a debt of labor to Dr. Pott for the ransom he had paid and
for the three years of service that her deceased husband had left
on his contract of servitude at the time of his death. She complained
bitterly that her new ýservitude . . . differeth not from her slavery with
the Indians.ţ
By 1624, no more than seven of the fifteen to twenty hostages had arrived
in Jamestown. The majority of them returned with Jane Dickenson.
Those who did not come back were presumed killed during the 1622
attack, although one captive, Anne Jackson, was not returned until 1630.
Mistress Boyse, the first of the missing women to rejoin the colony, was
not mentioned in official records following her return. Another of the
captives, Mistress Jeffries, died within a few months of her release.
Anne Jackson probably returned to the colony badly
broken from the consequences of her captivity, for in 1630 the council
ordered that she ýbee sent for England with the first opportunity,ţ
with the stipulation that her brother take care of her until she
was on board a ship. Nothing more was heard of Jane Dickenson after she
petitioned the council in March 1624 for release from her ýslaveryţ
with Dr. Pott.
